Construction Daily

Today I finished up the newel posts. Once that was done I needed to switch gears onto another project for a change of pace, so I decided to install the security camera on the front porch. I had attempted this a few weeks ago, but I was having a very hard time getting the signal to show up on the computer so after an hour of screwing around with settings I got the tech support on the phone and they figured out they built the computer incorrectly - installed the wrong video capture card. Sigh. Anyway the new card showed up and go figure everything worked the first time. That little camera is pretty cool - it automatically switches to infrared at night for round-the-clock recording.

Once I was done playing with electronic toys I got back to the newel posts - a lot of sanding and oiling ahead (using the same Danish oil that LCTF used on the frame to ensure a matching finish. This oil is awesome.)

The Hawes subs have been busy on various projects. The front porch railings are complete, the front porch lighting fixtures are installed (although they forgot the downrod on the main light and will have to go back and fix that later...) and the trim around the star window is done. Looks great!

Daily hours = 12
Total hours = 474

Check out the pics.
